Damnation Festival Presents DEATHFEST 2010 - the second coming!

      Mexican extreme metallers BRUJERIA and New York death veterans IMMOLATION will headline 'Deathfest - The Second Coming'.

      Fans can also expect a rare live appearance from Brummie grind/black/punk purveyors FUKPIG, northern death metallers DAWN OF CHAOS, and the heavy doom of VOLITION, as well as 11 other bands across two stages at the Damnation Festival backed event in Leeds University Union, Bank Holiday Sunday, May 2.

      And in a bid to beat the financial gloom, tickets for the all-day festival will be priced at an unrivalled £10 until the end of January.

      Deathfest director Gavin McInally said: "It's a great double coup landing both Brujeria and Immolation to headline our second Deathfest and we're sure they'll provide a suitable soundtrack to the chaos which will undoubtedly unfold in Leeds this May.

      "Putting festival tickets on sale for less than most gigs is a first class lesson in financial suicide, but it's important that money, or the lack of it, isn't a reason to stop fans getting along to Deathfest and if we can pack the venue again, it'll be a gamble worth taking.

      "Similar to last year, we'll have a main stage, again sponsored by Terrorizer magazine, which will be dominated by death metal from home and abroad.

      "And to break the tempo up and offer a little diversity over the course of the day, we'll have a selection of doom, black, grind and filthy noise on the second PHD Stage.

      "So grab a ticket while they're dirt cheap, grab a hotel room while they're dirt cheap and come along for a first class day of extreme metal!"

      Tickets are on sale now priced at £10 until 9am, Monday 1st February, and £19.50 thereafter, from www.leedstickets.com/ , www.ticketline.co.uk/ and www.seetickets.co.uk/

      ITALIAN death metal quartet HOUR OF PENANCE head up the latest additions to DEATHFEST -The Second Coming.

      They'll be joined on the Terrorizer Stage by London's INFESTATION while doom titans RAMESSES and the crushing sludge of PALEHORSE will lower the tone of the PHD Stage.

      Brujeria, Immolation, Fukpig, Dawn of Chaos and Volition are already confirmed for the two-stage event which will be hosted at Leeds University Union, on Bank Holiday Sunday, May 2.

      Festival director Gavin McInally, said: "Hundreds of tickets have already gone and we're delighted to be able to repay that early support by adding another four top quality extreme metal acts.

      "As promised, Deathfest - The Second Coming, will have a stunning bill of death metal on our Terrorizer Stage with the PHD Stage offering an alternative of filthy sludge, doom and unsavoury noise.

      "With several slots still to be filled, fans can look forward to an unrivalled day of extreme music in the UK this May!"

      Tickets are on sale now priced at £19.50 from www.leedstickets.com/ , www.ticketline.co.uk/ and www.seetickets.co.uk/

      Brujeria, Immolation, Hour of Penance, Fukpig, Ramesses, Infestation, Palehorse, Dawn of Chaos and Volition are already confirmed.

      "It's going to be carnage in Leeds this May."
